The Wyrd and Wihtlore -- Beltaine and Mayday Part Two

The Wyrd and Wihtlore -- Beltaine and Mayday Part Two

Author: Paul A.T. Wilson May 7, 2020 Duration: 15:41

Continuing on with the Wihtlore of Beltane, I describe old accounts of practises as the Hexal Grove. I describe the Oaken Youth and the Spring Maiden and their courtship and the trials of the woods.


In Tales of Wihtlore: Folklore and Stories from a sacred isle, Paul A.T. Wilson acts as a modern-day keeper of ancient wisdom, drawing inspiration from Britain's most hallowed landscapes. This podcast is rooted in the deep magic and mythology that permeates the land, long before history was written down. Each episode feels like a journey into those other domains, realms of mist and subtle sorcery that are felt more often than they are seen. You'll hear stories passed down through generations, tales that capture the unique spirit of a sacred isle where the veil between worlds is famously thin. The narrative style is immersive and contemplative, designed to transport you directly into the heart of these legends. It’s a fiction podcast built on the very real, atmospheric folklore that defines a magical Britain. Listening becomes an act of shared meditation, uncovering the whispers and shadows that have shaped a culture’s imagination. Paul A.T. Wilson weaves these threads not as simple retellings, but as living encounters with the past. The result is a deeply atmospheric collection where every myth and legend feels personally discovered, resonating with a timeless quality that modern life often overlooks. This isn't just about stories; it's about experiencing the persistent echo of an older, enchanted world that still lingers in the landscape and in memory.
